Definitions
- the present invention provides a process for producing astaxanthin in high yield by Phaffia rhodozyma (P. rhodozyma) utilizing the fed-batch fermentation system with application of new feeding methods based on the cell growth, the carbon source consumption and the carotenoids production.
- Astaxanthin as one of well-known carotenoids, is a xanthophyll commonly found as red or orange pigment in marine environments. Since this pigment is considered as a characteristic color in certain marine animals that cannot synthesize ⁇ -carotene de novo such as salmon, crustaceans and trouts, it is therefore necessary to add it to their diet in order to give them a suitable color that appeals to the consumer.
- This carotenoid is also useful for adding pigmentation to the flesh and products of other animals, and to other foodstuffs, e.g. poultry and eggs, various dairy products, snack foods, and the like. Only a few microorganisms synthesize astaxanthin, of which the yeast P.
- rhodozyma is a possible candidate for commercial production because of its high astaxanthin content.
- P. rhodozyma is known as a carotenogenic yeast strain which produces astaxanthin specifically. Different from the other carotenogenic yeast, Rhodotorula spec, P. rhodozyma can ferment some sugars such as D-glucose. This is an important feature from a viewpoint of industrial application.
- a sexual cycle of P. rhodozyma was revealed and its telemorphic state was designated under the name of Xanthophyllomyces den ⁇ rorhous.
- natural isolates of R was generated from a sexual cycle of P. rhodozyma was revealed and its telemorphic state was designated under the name of Xanthophyllomyces den ⁇ rorhous.
- rhodozyma produce so little astaxanthin (typically 100 to 300 parts per million (ppm)) that they are not practical or economical pigment sources for aquaculture. If Phaffia strains are to be an economically feasible feed additive for coloring aquatic animals, or any other potential food stuff (animal or otherwise), then astaxanthin over-producing strains must be developed. Mutants of naturally occurring "wild-type" Phajfia have been described in literature, allegedly capable of generating higher levels of astaxanthin than the wild- type yeasts. These strains reportedly produce higher levels of astaxanthin than the wild-type isolates under specific conditions; 1
- the present invention provides a process for the production of astaxanthin in high yield comprising applying new feeding methods of nutrient media based on the cell growth, the carbon source consumption and the carotenoids productions in the fed-batch mode by Phajfia strains. Especially, by using the new feeding methods of nutrient media based on the carbon source consumption, the fermentation period could be shortened and the astaxanthin yield could be significantly enhanced
- the present invention relates to a fermentation process for production of astaxanthin in high yield by R. rhodozyma which applies the new feeding methods of nutrient media based on the cell growth, the carbon source consumption and the carotenoids productions in the fed-batch fermentation system.
- the present invention provides the new feeding strategies which com- prise the exponential feeding methods combined with the carbon source concentration control and the feeding methods based on the carbon sources consumption rates in the aim of enhancing the cell growth extremely in the growth phase which possesses higher Yx/s, and regulating the cell growth and efficiently convert glucose to carotenoids in the production phase.
- the present invention relates to a process for production of astaxanthin in high yield by R. rhodozyma utilizing the fed-batch fermentation system. Especially, the new feeding methods based on the cell growth, the carbon source consumption and the carotenoids productions were constructed.
- the Phaffia strain is propagated by being transferred from a slant to 500ml Erlenmeyer flasks containing 50 ml of nutrient medium in which the cells are cultured with shaking under sufficient aeration at 20-22°C for 3days.
- this seed culture is transferred to 500 ml Erlenmeyer flasks containing 100 ml of nutrient medium, and incubated for 2 days on a rotary shaker under sufficient aeration at 20-22°C. Aliquots of these cell cultures are then used to inoculate into the fermentors.
- the seed culture is transferred to a 5 L fermentor containing 1.75 L of the nutrient medium.
- the culture was subjected to batch growth at 20-22°C until a yeast dry matter content of 1 g/L was obtained. Thereafter, the solution of sugar supply was started and the fed-batch fermentation was performed at 20-22°C.
- the nutrient medium basically contains glucose or sucrose as a carbon source and nitrogen sources supplemented with various vitamins and minerals in assimilable form. Typical of these vitamins and minerals are ammonium sulphate, potassium phosphate, magnesium sulphate, zinc sulphate, ferric ammonium sulphate, copper sulphate, inositol, pyridoxine hydrochloride, thiamine, calcium pantothenate, biotin, and the like. The combinations and concentrations of these materials, including the glucose and yeast extracts, can vary to convenience. If desired, an antifoam agent and/or other additives can also be incorporated into or used with the medium.
- the medium which was fed to the fermentor in the fed-batch fermentation, contained a polysaccharide, e.g. glucose or sucrose.
- the nutrient medium can contain polymerized forms of glucose, sucrose and other poly- saccharides, molasses and corn syrup, glycerol and other polyols, carboxylic acids as the energy sources. Meanwhile, the nutrient medium can contain yeast extract, meat-extract, peptone, casein, corn steep liquor, urea, amino acidsnitrates, ammonium salts and the like as the nutrient sources.
- the fermentor with the nutrient medium is sterilized by autoclaving.
- the working volume is not restricted and the fermentation can be operated from the small scale to the industrial large scale.
- the pH of the media is usually maintained between 4.5 and 7.0, and the temperature between 15-24°C.
- the medium is usually sparged with filter sterilized air, and it is continuously agitated.
- the strains are propagated in fermentors over a pH range of 4.5 to 7.0 controlled with NH OH solution, NaOH solution or both. Temperature can be set at a range of from 15 to 24°C and DO is controlled by agitation and airflow to between 10% and 90%.
- Typical feeding method A typical feeding method for nutrient media is disclosed in US 6,015,684.
- the feeding medium containing glucose or sucrose is fed to the main fermentor with the aim of reaching the specific growth rate of the yeast cells of ⁇ : 0.01-0.10 bf 1 .
- the feeding rate is gradually increased to so as not to accumulate the nutrient and ethanol in the culture broth.
- the feed rate is reduced to about 50% of the maximum feed rate during the growth phase.
- the yeast cells continue to produce astaxanthin, but the growth in the number of cells is restricted.
- Fermentations typically last 4-9 days, and they are sampled periodically for analysis of cell growth and astaxanthin production.
- Specific glucose consumption rate (q) and the specific growth rate ( ⁇ ) can be calculated, ⁇ is increased with q in the relationship between q and ⁇ .
- the slope ⁇ I q means the cell yield against consumed glucose ( Yx/s ) as the equation (1).
- Exponential feeding method concerned with the C/N ratio When the feeding rate is linearly increased in the growth phase, q is higher than the critical point, for example, as described in Example 1 and Yx/s is 0.200 to 0.500. On the other hand, when the feeding rate is linearly decreased in the production phase, Yx/s is lower than 0.200. Moreover, the astaxanthin production is increased and the maximum production rate is obtained in this period. It is well known that the astaxanthin production by P. rhodozyma is typical non- growth associated type fermentation. The higher Yx/s is obtained in the growth phase, and the lower Yx/s is obtained in the production phase. Therefore, in order to enhance the cell growth extremely in the growth phase, which possesses higher Yx/s, the exponential feed- ing method in the growth phase can be applied.
- the glucose concentration can be controlled in the production phase.
- ⁇ can be set at 0.01 to 0.1 hour "1 .
- the feeding rate( F ) in the growth phase is expressed by following equation (2).
- the control method is applied for the glucose concentration control in the culture broth. It means the pH-stat method for glucose concentration control based on the NH 4 OH addition (for maintaining pH).
- the glucose concentration can be controlled between 0 and 70 g/L, preferably between 0 and 10 g/L. For instance, by using the 0 g/L glucose control, the final astaxanthin concentration can be higher than that in the control method.
- the maximum astaxanthin production rate can be more than 30.0 % higher than that of the control method.
- the C/N ratio in the production phase was 1.08 times higher than the glucose 2.0 g/L control, because the NH OH addition in the glucose 0 g/L control was smaller than that in the glucose 2.0 g/L control. It is known that the increment of the C/N ratio of feeding medium in the production phase enhances the astaxanthin production 1.5 times higher than the batch fermentation using the same amount of glucose. Therefore, it is thought that the astaxanthin production using the glucose 0 g/L control is larger than that using the glucose 2.0 g/L control.
- using NaOH solution as a pH control reagent in the production phase is the effective method for the astaxanthin production by the exponential feeding method with glucose 0 g/L control, because the C/N ratio in the production phase can be enhanced.
- the average astaxanthin productivity by using NaOH solution as a pH control reagent in the production phase with an aim to increase the C/N ratio in the production phase can be more than 10.0 % higher than by using NH 4 OH solution.
- the exponential feeding method with glucose 0 g/L control using NaOH solution as a pH control reagent can be shortened more than 26.0 % of the total fermentation period as compared to the control method. This exponential feeding method with glucose 0 g/L control can enhance the astaxanthin average productivity at least 13.0 % higher than the control method.
- the modified exponential feeding method In order to enhance the total astaxanthin production and utilize higher astaxanthin average productivity of the exponential feeding method, the exponential feeding method can be improved by increasing the feeding amount of glucose and expanding the feeding period to the range of 10 to 50 % longer. Effect of this expanding the feeding period method is 'the modified exponential feeding ethod' by enhancement of the feeding amount of glucose on astaxanthin fed-batch fermentation.
- the exponential feeding is applied in the growth phase till the middle stage of the fermentation. After that, the feeding rate of the production phase is kept constant at the range of 10 to 100 % of the maximum feeding rate in the growth phase.
- the final astaxanthin concentration was 5.8 % higher than the concentration by the control method, and the total astaxanthin production was at least 29.0% higher than that by the control method.
- the modified exponential feeding method can enhance the astaxanthin content in dry cell more than 5.60% higher than the content by the control method.
- the glucose consumption rate (GCR) feeding method is based on the glucose consumption rate (GCR) in the fed-batch fermentation.
- the practi- cal total glucose consumption profile can be derived from the exponential glucose feeding profile, e.g. as shown in Example 7.
- the effect of the GCR feeding method can be investigated.
- the glucose concentration in the culture broth is able to keep around 0 g/L.
- the final total astaxanthin production by using the GCR feeding method will be at least 8.0 % higher than that by using the exponential feeding method:
- the average astaxanthin productivity by the GCR feeding method can be more than 7.0% higher than that by the exponential feeding method.
- the Max GCR feeding method Furthermore, in order to enhance the feeding amount of glucose without accumulating the glucose in the fermentation, the new GCR feeding method based on the maximum glucose consumption rate (the Max GCR feeding method) can be constructed by investigating the effects of the feeding profile that combined GCR feeding and the constant feeding of keeping the maximum feeding rate in the GCR feeding method in the production phase.
- the glucose accumulation in the culture broth affects the astaxanthin yield, and the yield against glucose used is lower than the yield by using the control method. If the new GCR feeding method is applied in order not to accumulate glucose in the fermentation broth, it is thought that the astaxanthin production yield can be remarkably enhanced.
- the glucose consumption rate based on the feeding method that combined the GCR feeding with the constant feeding as described in Example 8 and the feeding rate profile based on the glucose consumption rate was calculated.
- the max glucose feeding rate profile calculated from the feeding method that combined the GCR feeding with the constant feeding as described in Example 8 is shown.
- the max glucose feeding rate profile can be set valuable depending on compositions of the various nutrient media or fermentation conditions.
- the Max GCR feeding method using NH 4 OH and NaOH solution for pH control can be applied based on the max glucose feeding rate profile.
- the total astaxanthin production by the Max GCR feeding method can be enhanced at least 4.0% higher than that by the control method.
- the maximum astaxanthin production rate can be obtained more than 20 % higher than the rate by using the control method.
- this method sometimes accumulates glucose in the culture broth. Therefore, in order to accumulate no glucose in the culture broth, the Max GCR feeding method using only NH 4 OH solution for pH control can be applied. By using this method, the glucose concentration in the culture broth can maintain 0 g/L during the whole fermentation period. The total astaxanthin production by this method can be enhanced more than 12 % higher than that by the control method.
- the astaxanthin production yield against glucose used by this Max GCR feeding method can be increased by at least 4.0 % higher than that by the control method.
- the average astaxanthin production rate can be obtained more than 21 % higher than the rate of the control method.
- this Max GCR feeding method using only NH 4 OH solution for pH control can shorten the fermentation period (at least 11 % of the fermentation period can be cut down in the comparison with the control method) and enhance the astaxanthin productivity.

- the medium which was fed to the fermentor in the fed-batch fermentation, contained 716.0 g/L of glucose or sucrose. All the chemicals were of food grade.
- the molasses were beet sugar molasses from Midwest agriculture, US.
- the fermentation was carried out in the glass jar fermentor, D-type (Able, Tokyo, Japan) with a total volume of 5 L with a top drive system and temperature, pH, DO (dissolved oxygen) and exhaust gas monitor.

- Example 2 Feeding strategies concerned with the cell growth phase and the astaxanthin production phase
- the specific glucose consumption rate (q) and the specific growth rate ( ⁇ ) could be calculated and illustrated by a graph.
- the slope ⁇ I q means the cell yield against consumed glucose (Yx/s) as the equation (1) as described above.
- the higher Yx/s was obtained in the growth phase, and the lower Yx/s was obtained in the production phase. Therefore, in order to enhance the cell growth extremely in the growth phase, which possessed higher Yx/s, and restrict the cell growth and efficiently convert glucose to astaxanthin in the production phase, the exponential feeding method in the growth phase and the glucose concentration control in the production phase were applied to the feeding strategies for the astaxanthin fed-batch fermentation.
